A few years ago, an interesting incident happened at a gasification and alternative fuels research facility that is worth recounting here. During a run, the operator noticed an unusual faint red glow emanating through the seams of our insulation. At the time, our insulation was applied on the main sections of a research synthesis gas combustion chamber. The operator instantly went to check all the instruments but the processes read normal. At a loss for what was going on, he resolved to check the combustion chamber after the run was over and the equipment had cooled down.
